Well, no, it's not "intellectually weak". You seem to be taking an absolutist position against secrecy. Personally, I'd argue that such a position is completely untenable if you want a country that survives its first conflict, but that's not really relevant. What is relevant is the following: * Moving the discussion away from "secrecy is always evil" and toward discussing specific instances. * Acknowledging that a court ruling can be legally correct even if you personally would disagree with the results of that ruling. * Learning to avoid reflex reactions and instead actually digging to see what happened and evaluating arguments.
